The Modern-Day Race Hustlers

Guilt-ridden liberals suffer from a self-abasing sickness which is seen everywhere in the culture. Consider entertainment and TV commercials. It’s a culture in which movies are produced that disproportionally present white men as clumsy idiots or greed-mongers and no one blinks an eye.

A culture has been created in which constant derision is leveled against the white male and ultra-sensitivity is extended to those the white man has oppressed: women and minorities. Never mind that the guilty white man is not of our generation, but generations ago.

Anyone who dares to speak out against the artificial, politically biased system, much less point out the phenomena, must be condemned with the full force of the culture’s moral indignation. This is the only area in which liberals are truly colorblind. Anyone who dares to point out the obvious must be attacked regardless of color. Just ask Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Kenneth Gladney, etc., about their treatment from the liberal establishment.

A white conservative male who dares to speak out will face the harshest stigma that can be meted out by hypocritical and self-righteous race hustlers. The label of “racist” attaches automatically to outspoken conservatives. And the liberal media will never let it go. The politically incorrect will be left hanging as a piñata and beaten periodically.

Quotes will be created out of thin air. Actual words spoken will be twisted and taken out of context purposefully. Distorted meaning will be extracted from satire. Just ask Rush Limbaugh, who exposes the system with analysis and parody.

The poster boy villain of the left has recently been punished. Limbaugh’s dream of co-owning a National Football League team has been thwarted. He is unworthy to participate in the very free market that he champions. The politically correct system facilitated the use of out-and-out lies against him.

The true racists of the country — the race hustlers — recently practiced their vile craft against Rush on the stage of public opinion. As soon as the St. Louis Rams announcement was made, they pounced, and Rush was torn apart with vicious slander. The liberal media then gleefully echoed falsified quotes without fact checking. The result? The drive-by public believes Rush is a racist.

The more significant result is that the powers within the NFL became fearful of the “controversy.” A major conservative figure was thus blocked from a unique sphere of influence. The race card is a means to a greater political end. Rather than disagree and debate, the left applies the shameful practice of destroying its enemies.

If the hustlers had a research team and a shred of decency they would eventually admit the falsehoods and distortions. They owe Rush several retractions and a big apology. As a group with many religious leftists, notably Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, maybe they could repent, which means to turn from. Maybe they could turn from their destructive race baiting, which divides, destroys, and creates an atmosphere of animosity.

Until that day arrives, I suggest that they actually listen to Rush rather than rely on hearsay and prejudiced sources. They might just come to understand that conservative principles truly transcend race. Unlike liberalism, conservatism does not see skin color, but the character and worldview of a person. The color of a person’s skin is irrelevant. Conservatives, like Rush, want everyone to succeed on their own merits and hard work — just like in football.

But in order to succeed, a free country is necessary. I think Rush has another dream that doesn’t involve football. I think Rush has a dream that some glorious day liberalism will be defeated so that men may be lifted up without having to tear others down. I think Rush dreams of a day when race baiting will no longer be used to destroy a man’s character.

i may continue to follow the nfl but i ll make sure none of my money reaches their hands. just like i ll continue to read the newspapers but i ll make sure i don t give them any money. watch the money my friends

When government got too heavily involved in the business of creating racial equality, race relations became politicized. Unfortunately, blacks, in many instances, were invited to become perpetual victims.

This is Political Ecology 101: When government creates a niche in which a group can thrive by politicizing an issue, that group will emerge and the issue will be politicized.

Liberals have constructed a country in their minds that has little to do with the real thing. My ex insisted last year that racist America would never elect a black President. Yet how many white votes were in the realm of give the black guy a break category? Geraldine Ferraro got hell for pointing it out. The left never noticed or forgot how much attitudes changed in the late ’60s, when the “nigger lover” insult so common in the South virtually disappeared. Almost overnight to be a racist was to be a pariah. Of course, not all racists disappeared but they didn’t flaunt the way they used to. More common was the habit of giving the black person a break, a volunteer affirmative action that most blacks were well aware and not hesitant to take advantage of. Now the leftist race hustlers have so abused amiable white people that the game is up. The goodwill is fading and the shakedown strategy against business will gradually dry up. Affirmative action has had it day. Now it’s time to remind everyone what King said.

Taking for instance the leftist that post here like DS, moho and others, they have been programmed by progressives and nothing not even the loss of power will change their minds(?).

One small step in blowing the lid off progressive hypocrisy would be the following: 1. uncover and expose the lack of diversity-blacks-in progressive legislators in the House and Senate. 2. Expose the lack of diversity in the administrations of colleges and universities and professors who glorify affirmiative action and diversity. 3. We should push for more blacks on the nightly news anchor desks of the big three, more blacks in upper management of the big three, more blacks in upper management, editorial, and staff desks of the major newspapers. 4. We should ask for more blacks in Xgames and Winter Olympics. 5. Uncover and expose the lack of diversity in left 527s like Kos, HuffPo, CAP, MM and others.

These small steps would not change the minds of DS and moho, but might begin to change the minds of blacks when they see the double standards and hypocrisy of the left.

The sickness that pervades the minds of white, self-loathing, guilt-ridden progressives can never be healed. As someone before had said, progressivism is their religion.

It’s sadly ironic that the one institution that should be leading the way toward a truly colorblind society for all the right reasons is instead the cradle of many racists: the church. Witness the outright, vicious lies and hatred spewed forth from the likes of Wright and Pfleger. And the two most recognizable racists are both alleged ministers, Jackson and Sharpton. What they “preach” is very far removed from the Christian beliefs of love and forgiveness. If they were truly men of God, why would they insist on keeping racism alive?
Also remember that Obama spent twenty years in Wright’s church absorbing the twisted sermons of hate.

It’s a good thing that middle aged white guys can take it or we’d all be weeping in our wheaties. Watch any TV commercial or nightly show featuring the smart wife with the dumb guy who can’t even tie his shoes without her. She’s the brains and the boss. Heck all the kids are smarter than he is too. The black man or woman is now the judge, the police chief, the lawyer and we’re the riff raff because someone has to be and we’re it. Someone has to be the foil and we won’t complain because, after all, we’re the oppressors not a recognized victims’ group. If the black guy did it, you’re watching the first half hour of Law and Order and it will be straightened out in the last half hour. It’s a good thing we have a sense of humor, broad shoulders and an on/off button. This probably makes me a racist. No. I don’t think this is what Dr. King had in mind, exactly.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, President Obama, among others are more than race hustlers, but I call them race vultures in that they find a target & exploit it much like a vulture thrives on the dead & dying animals; race hustlers are the lowest common denominators as they must always find black victims against whitey. The race hustlers are also racists themselves, yet in the liberal fantasy land, blacks cannot be racist since they are supposedly the “oppressed.” These race vultures exploit Martin Luther King Jr, yet does the opposite in principles. They need to fade away into dust.

It was Martin Luther King, Jr.’s philosophy, in which a man’s character would take precedence over the color of his skin.

You’re the only hustler here, friend. Its become quite an insulting habit for people seeking to peddle this “content of their character” quote to mischaracterize King, and portray him as simply a man trying to remove perceptions of race. Its an absurd tactic that only works on the gullible and those eager to attack the very ideas that King stood for. Do you really think that a decade of activism can be boiled down to three words in a larger speech? Here are some King quotes that belie your premise about King:

Whenever the issue of compensatory treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree; but he should ask nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic.”

“A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for the Negro” to compete on a just and equal basis (quoted in Let the Trumpet Sound, by Stephen Oates).

“Within common law we have ample precedents for special compensatory programs…. And you will remember that America adopted a policy of special treatment for her millions of veterans after the war.”

IF you disagree with King’s statements, then have the guts to say so. This blatant manipulation of his legacy is about as ugly a tactic as I can imagine.

I agree with Moho. People only use a small amount of King’s speeches. Further study would clearly show he was a socialist, womanizing man with little regards other than further his cause. These are hard facts. Yes, in the bigger scheme he did some good. This does not in anyway mean he would be any different from sharpton or jackson. Based on his complete history, it is easier to see he would be hand in hand with the rest of the hustlers.

Will I be band for having the audicity to say something disparaging King????

OK Moho, I guess character doesn’t matter so much to you – we already know that. We also know that you will never try to understand and respond to the author’s actual point.

But as much as I believe the author is right on the mark with most of his contentions here, I wish conservatives could stop introducing “Christian morality” and “Christian nation” into these arguments. You don’t need to be a Christian to be moral and responsible and it is a monstrous turn off to think about being controlled by someone who makes decisions and laws for everyone based upon their religion. The greatness of our country accrues from personal freedom, the rule of minimal and reasonable laws and the requirement that everyone take responsibility for themselves and their actions. While this is often part of conservative’s manifesto, unfortunately they just don’t see how much their non-religious political causes are hurt by their deep association with intolerant religious groups.

Ah, Rush Limbaugh wanting to buy into an NFL team is “racist” because someone has to make up things he supposedly said, but it’s free speech for a Black Pather to threaten white voters with a billy club, at a polling place during a national election, on video, and say “That’s why you’re gonna be ruled by a black man now!” Leftists aren’t responsible for themselves and their actions because that’s for suckers, they just want to win– screw everyone else.

Statists (whether Communist, Socialist, Fascist, Progressive, Republican, or “Compassionate Conservative”) and useful idiots (such as Moho)are untroubled using lies and deceit in all their political doings. The goal always is to install tyranny, with them at the top.

Douglas makes a good point. If you have studied much on MLK—that is, much beyond the slavish books of praise written on him—you will see that he was not the wonderful man that liberal history has made of him.

moho: As always you think the topic is about blacks. Wrong, sparky. The topic is about white progressives and how they have and continue to treat blacks and why. Obviously, since you are programmed to react to certain words, you reacted and wrote your post.

But let’s take your post. Okay, fine, character has been laid aside by blacks in favor of government intervention. The same government that enslaved blacks you now want to support blacks?? Isn’t that the definition of insanity? And are you saying that MLK was in fact a raciaist, segregationist, racist and race hustler? Sure seems like it by the quotes you chose.

Also are you saying that blacks deserve more and better treatment than vets who served this nation? That today’s blacks deserve anything they wantother than what white progressives give them because of what happened almost 300 years ago? Wow, talk about cry baby and dependent.

How does it feel to be enslaved to white progressives for everything you are?

You think because the white progressives have given you a voice and affirmative action and welfare, that they are doing it for altruistic reasons. But they have re-enslaved you and you don’t even know it. Riddle me this: Where would you be today were it not for affirmative action? And do you really think Jesse and Al can make the moves they do and say the things they do without the tacit approval of the white elite left? Do you think Maxine Watters and Shiela Jackson Lee can get around DC without their white patriarchs?

moho, the racist that you are, you are racist against and supporting the wrong people. Refer to my last post on this thread and explain or refute what I said.

Gus3, I doubt you’re really interested in the truth, but here are those citations you requested. Someone with a functioning cortex, could have, instead, simply googled the phrases to find out if they were authentic. Go ahead: you’re either too stupid, or too cowardly to do so.

Mike G.
I did respond to the author’s point. Here is his thesis statement:

At some point in the long process of recovering from the horrible institution of slavery, a movement began just prior to the counterculture rebellion of the 1960s. It was Martin Luther King, Jr.’s philosophy, in which a man’s character would take precedence over the color of his skin. The movement was powerful but fleeting. Unfortunately, it would turn into something King would never have recognized. The modern-day race hustlers would eventually replace the character-based philosophy of King with the ideology of the counterculture.

The above contains a fallacious appeal to authority that completely misconstrues the teachings of King. Without the King portion, which is not relevant nor is it true, the rest of the article would simply be the rantings of white antagonism. Its a cowardly tactic, but one that seems perfectly acceptable to the audience.

1. uncover and expose the lack of diversity-blacks-in progressive legislators in the House and Senate. 2. Expose the lack of diversity in the administrations of colleges and universities and professors who glorify affirmiative action and diversity. 3. We should push for more blacks on the nightly news anchor desks of the big three, more blacks in upper management of the big three, more blacks in upper management, editorial, and staff desks of the major newspapers. 4. We should ask for more blacks in Xgames and Winter Olympics. 5. Uncover and expose the lack of diversity in left 527s like Kos, HuffPo, CAP, MM and others.

More power to you. I think you should do all those things and see where people of color land on the issue. But its never going to hide the fact that the Republican party has no elected representatives who are African American and absolutely no–none, not even the completely inadequate diversity you’re seeking to highlight in the Democratic party–diversity. What you’re trying to do is show that the Democrats are just as racist as you are. That’s not a very good argument for your side, is it?

moho: Yep! And you support them. So who is the idiot here??? Actually they are more racist because they hide their motives and you suck up to them without questioning them.

See unlike you I do not check off race as to whom I vote for or whether my party has enough of each color or ethnicity. You are too programmed to see otherwise.

We look for people who represent the goodness and will of the people of the US. You look for white progressives who will GIVE you something or else you will cry. That is the big difference. You see only color. I see Americans.

Note I will never refer to you as African-American or blacks on the whole that way. If you are American that should come first unless you are a naturalized citizen. And from Africa. That like Kawanzaa is another white progressive sop to you and black Americans. But I digress.

Anony: Nice try. Big deal that they were authentic. Quoting from a book about MLK is not an independent source to support the claims and assertion that were made and certainly not a Playboy article.

moho: Yep! And you support them. So who is the idiot here??? Actually they are more racist because they hide their motives and you suck up to them without questioning them.

You’re welcome to show the post where I profess my support for the Democratic party. Nothing says idiot more than assuming that you know someone’s positions. My point coming here has always been to show a)how ignorant the readers are b) how manipulative the writers are c) and how nearly all of the discourse here is aimed at directing people to the short-comings of Democrats rather than focus on your own.

You don’t have to be a Democrat to find you people intensely annoying.

Quoting from a book about MLK is not an independent source to support the claims and assertion that were made and certainly not a Playboy article.

Also, from the “stop digging” department. When you’ve been caught flat out wrong, its a good idea to shift to another issue. Upon reading this comment, anyone would be excused for thinking that you have a vested interest in believing certain ideas about MLK which are not supported in fact.

“On the new Democratic vote-producing plantations, dignity, morality, responsibility, and a work ethic were replaced with government checks.”

Out here in the real world there is such strong empirical evidence for this that you simply cannot call it the “rantings of white antagonism”. Geeze, can no one make a point that falls outside of your world view that is legitimate in your eyes?

When you respond to Moho, or any other leftist troll, you’re giving him exactly what he wants, no matter what the substance of your response might be. Why do you think he and they are here? To garner agreement with their leftist tripe from conservatives?

Mr. Porretto, thank you. I am understanding this better now. However his/her mentality seems in microcosm to be exhibit A of the case for severly limited government. Because then the Mohos of the world could go along believing as they want and ignoring the reasoned objectives of others without hurting the rest of us and without prematurely terminating one of the most successful societal evolutions in the history of mankind – that being the free republic of the USA.

Prof. Porretto: Complete agreement. moho is fun. He is quite the idiot and writes without reason or cogent analysis of the topic.

He and fellow space travelers DS and n&t are lap dogs for the left. Probably paid.

I am under no allusions of really engaging him or the others in debate. But I get to understand the tactics of the left the more I engage him and his fellow morons. They are programmed and delusional. DS has had complete brain failure so I really just tag his postings to irritate him; moho is a pure racist so I like to get under his skin.

Affirmative action would have been reasonable for King’s generation. After all, they were personally harmed by past discrimination, and their white contemporaries had personally benefited. However, the current generation is now being made to pay for an offense they did not commit, to benefit those who were not alive to be offended. That is unjust.

You neglect to mention MLK WAS NOT A MAN OF THE LEFT. Dr. King WAS A CARD CARRYING REPUBLICAN. Is it any wonder, then, the “left abandoned the philosophy” of Dr. King? THE LEFT NEVER HAD the philosophy of Dr. King so there was nothing for the left to abandon. At a minimum you made a poor choice in words. Groups or Individuals can not abandon philosophies to which they never adhered.

The Statists used “the movement” to it’s own ends, subjugating a race to expand government and buy votes.

Too many people have been wronged for a liberal government to work in this country. In response to myth buster, he is right in saying that affirmative action would’ve worked in MLK’s generation, but what has happened is those that haven’t benefited from affirmative action and the like continue to stick their hand out. So although we have people now who weren’t offended, they follow in the habits of their predecessors.

I will not allow any NFL games to be viewed in my home, no merchandize will come through my door and I am seriously considering whether to boycott any product I know is advertised during their games. I listen to no sports radio at this time and will not until football season is over. I’m middle age but I have a really loooooong memory.

The NFL and it’s crooks, thieves, race hustlers, dog killer, felons, and assorted miscreants can all kiss my great aunties bussle. I hope most people feel the same. It’s time to get some new talent.

Moral constraints like truth and honesty are off the table. Lying. Deception. Thievery. Abuse of power. Voter intimidation. Obstruction of justice. These are the tools that the Obama administration employs willy-nilly to destroy the very fabric of America. Free speech. Freedom of the press. Private ownership. Private enterprise. Personal freedom, liberty and everything in between.

Obama sure can dish out the smears and attacks on America to every two bit tin horn tyrant he kowtows to when he travels overseas apologizing for America. But any kind of criticism Obama can’t take. Because Fox refuses to carry water for Obama, Fox isn’t a news organization.

Well, guess, what.

I say Obama’s not a patriotic American. In fact, he doesn’t come close. Putting an admitted bigot, Sotomayor, on the Supreme Court. Letting hooligan, racist voter-intimidating thugs get off scot free. Financially, draining American’s coffers and trying to redistribute wealth under the guise of a public option. Doing all this and more anti-Democratic, anti-American acts, Obama disgraces the office that ACORN stole for him. Fox isn’t a news organization? Well, Mr. Obama, sir, you are not our President. When you were sworn in, the words you spit out were a pack of lies.

I am under no allusions of really engaging him or the others in debate.

You got that right, you couldn’t debate me about a speculative fight between the Hulk and Superman. You’re stupid and only semi-literate: allusion is a reference to something else. The word you were looking for is illusions. Self-pwn much?

[While this is often part of conservative’s manifesto, unfortunately they just don’t see how much their non-religious political causes are hurt by their deep association with intolerant religious groups.]

Personally, I’m baffled by the lack of tolerance by atheists who’ve never been harmed by Christians.

One more thing. Since most Americans are religious, wouldn’t it be REALLY dumb for conservatives to ignore or mock them?

While I am unhappy with the way the race card was played against Rush Limbaugh for reasons of principle, how can you expect him to be exempt from the very treatment fellow Democrats (namely Hillary supporters) received last year if we refused to get in line and vote for “the One.” First, it was 28% of her 18,000,000 voters. It got whittled down to about 17% of 3,000,000 holdouts by election time. We crossed party lines in an effort to put country before party because we did not feel he was qualified. We did not like being called racist either.

It is nice of you to take such offense on Mr. Limbaugh’s behalf, but there were many others who have and still are being slandered with this ridiculous, false charge for daring to ask questions or for disagreeing with the Obama administration. I hope you will write an article about the rest of us, too. Men and women, even a bunch of Democrats, all colors of the rainbow, who did not drink the kool-aid.

#13 moho – Those quotes indicate to me the problem when revolutionary idealists start to get into actual policies. Their solutions are rarely any good. MLK did good work in selling the ideal of equality. His policy ideas weren’t nearly as good. Kinda reminds me of Obama: Good orator, but lacking in good specifics.

I’m not American but any observer of America compared to the rest of the world can see that Americans of African origin are better off there than anywhere else on the planet and that includes Africa where tribal slaughter still reigns as part of the natural order.
Brazil with a very large population of African origin is to host the next Olympics and if one examiines the Brazilian political class one will find nary one black face. The same holds true for those other champions of Latino equality – Chavez and Castro. As for Europe – Europeans talk the talk but fail to walk the walk. Just ask the black athletes about the racism they encounter on a regular basis.
Moving on to Asia one discovers China and Japan openly displaying overt antagonism with Indians and the rest signing on to similar negative views.
The Russian president’s discomfort at being within touching distance of Obama was palpable -and so it goes around the world.
In fact the best places to be in the world if one is of African origin are the US, Canada and the UK.

It is time for all conservative & independent people to stand up for their God given rights, and not let ourselves be unfairly ridiculed by the real rasists and hypocrites in our great country. I am a target in this free country of ours: (middle class white male conservative). I was born in Africa, brought up by people that make the average ‘African American’, look white. They loved me, I loved them. They were uneducated according to ‘Western standards’ eventhough; Most of them spoke at least four languages,(out of neccesity) and had common sense and a loving disposition without a sense of entitlement. When I see all of the opportunities the average ‘Black’ has in America compared to Africa it makes me want to cry. I see much more racism amoung the African Americans towards whites, I see a sense of entitlement…You owe me for the four hundred yrs of slavery etc, etc. I sometimes wish that I was born black in america, I would have had more opportunities. All the blacks have to do is accept the proper usage of our language, stay out of trouble, get an education, be a little gratefull,rather than have a you owe me white man: Sense of entitlement and all the doors will open for you wider than any white man could ever hope for. Your current Black ‘leaders’ today are the biggest racists and con artists I have ever seen, and the real Martin Luther King models today are called ‘Oreos’, ‘Uncle Tom’s’ or blacks with ‘white brains’. I think it is time for the Black community to wake-up and go back to what a true leader like Dr. King professed.

There is far more evidence Obama is a racist than there is for indicting Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh did not go to a church where Black Liberation Theology was preached for at least twenty years. It is (BLT) hardly distinguishable from the rantings of Louis Farrakhan of the Black Muslims. His defense of the idiot black professor is another fine example of racism rampant in the black community vis a vis the police. It is time the black people in this country finally realize they are going to be treated as equals only when they actually measure up. I would note they are not discriminated against where they ARE equal, witness the equality of sports like the NFL,NBA, and baseball. This old white man has seen enough racism in the old days practiced by white people to put up with the same dreck practiced by blacks. Those like Jeramiah Wright and Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et. al. should be ostracized as the racist thugs they are, not lionized as the saviours of blacks in the USA.

When the COMMUNISTS in the ONESCUM administration and MEDIA failed to Destroy Limbaugh, they turned there attention to trying to destroy Beck instead. As that fails, they now turn there attention to Fox news in general. Someone needs to remind them amongst Fox news contributors are the likes of Alan Colmes, David Corn, Lanny Davis,Juan Williams and Mara Liasson. Funny, but I dont see a Limbaugh or a Beck ANYWHERE on ANY channel affiliated with NBC. Rather, I see total propagandists named Matthews, Olbermann(Uberidiot) Maddow(Madcow) (sgt) Schultz, and Contessa Brewer. Even John Stoessel, the only decent Commiemedia figure in recent memory, has now become a member of the Fox Business Network. Did anyone see the black scumbag who murdered ,raped and burned to death those 2 young adults in Knoxville, Tn in 2007 was convicted yesterday? I wouldnt have known except for Michelle Malkin. This, one of the most HORRIFIC crimes Ive ever heard of, has been unreported by the mainslime media. wonder why? The perps were all BLACK and the ringleader was a recent parolee. the victims were both white. According to Kieth Uberidiot, thats not racist. Thats why Kieth is known as the Uberidiot.
